EDP Sciences launched its new submission system NESTOR (New Editorial System Tool for Research) in July 2020. The submission system was the first to fully integrate video submissions. Now, a few months later, EDP Sciences confirms the full integration of ORCID in NESTOR. This development significantly increases the features and benefits offered by NESTOR and further cements EDP Sciences’ membership of ORCID (Open researcher and contributor ID).
ORCID, is a non-profit organisation supported by a global community of over 1000 member organisations, including research institutions, publishers, funders, professional associations, service providers, and other stakeholders in the research ecosystem. It focusses on ‘Connecting Researchers and Research’ by way of a free, unique, persistent identifier for individuals so that they are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time. About 11 million ORCID IDs have been registered to date.
EDP Sciences places great emphasis on its authors and contributors and is determined to support ORCID and similar initiatives, such as the Publons Reviewer Recognition Service. The guiding principles of such initiatives are fairness and transparency and these also lie at the heart of open access and open science.
